We’re joining woofing mainly to meet new people and offer a helping hand. We love nature and staying in the city of Perth doesn’t suit us - we’re looking for an authentic experience. We’re eager to learn English, share with people who have lived here for a long time, and contribute to outdoor work or help with animals.

WWOOFing felt like the perfect way to connect with local communities, learn about sustainable practices, and contribute meaningfully while meeting new people. We’re passionate about animal care and love lending a hand whether it’s with daily farm tasks, caring for animals, or enjoying a good chat over tea.

I am joining WWOOF to from a deeper connection with the earth and with other people. I am excited to meet people who will share their knowledge and ideas, and help change the way that I see the world.

I like nature and I want to experience organic farming overseas. I want to connect with people who are interested in health. I’d like to exchange ideas, help with daily tasks, and enjoy a simple lifestyle close to nature.

We have five acres of land and special gardens on the outskirts of the clay pans, nestled in between Mount Ertwa and the gracious MacDonnell Range at Ilparpa just outside of Alice Springs. The birdlife, wildlife and native garden is serene and full of beauty. We have adopted a permaculture ethos while also battling the invasive weed of buffel grass in the hopes of restoring and revegetating the land back into its natural habitat.

We’re traveling to Australia while taking a winter break from our own organic farm in Sweden. We want to combine meaningful work with the joy of exploring your country and connecting with nature. Through WWOOF, we hope to meet like-minded people who share our values around sustainable living and organic farming. We’re excited to exchange knowledge, learn new skills, and experience Australian farm life. We’re also seeking inspiration for opening our own ecotourism project and welcoming future WWOOFers to our farm.

I joined WWOOF because I wanted to step outside of my familiar surroundings in Germany and truly immerse myself in a different culture. Traveling can sometimes feel distant or superficial, but WWOOF offers the chance to live and work alongside locals, which to me feels much more authentic and meaningful. A friend recommended the program, and the more I learned about it, the more I felt it aligned with what I was looking for. I’m especially drawn to eco-friendly farming and sustainable lifestyles. Instead of a commercial or tourist-oriented experience, I hope to contribute to something more grounded: working with the land, learning practical skills, and being part of daily life. I see WWOOFing as not just a way to travel, but also as a way to grow personally, gain new perspectives, and connect with people who value community and the environment.

I joined WWOOF because I want to be in places where I can feel meaningful and make a real contribution. WWOOF seems like the perfect way to do that — combining learning, community, and hands-on experience. I’d love to learn more about Australian culture, improve my farming skills, and enjoy the experience while giving my best and helping wherever I can. I believe the best way to learn and connect is by working together and having fun at the same time.

NB .  You will need your own transport  if you intend to come and stay at The property. Especially during the summer, which is fire season, so you need to be able to evacuate the property under your own steam, in case of emergency and if there is no-one is here. Please read the whole description before writing to me. 7.2 acre herbal farmlet. Growing a wide and diverse range of vegetables, herbs, and fruit. There are  solar panels,  a battery for electricity storage so we are 98 % of grid electricity wise , there is only rainwater & bore water on the property. Goals are self-sufficiency & off grid living. There are terraces and swales on the property, we are working on creating a larger food forest, an Olive Grove, and to extend the  fruit orchard which is  fairly well planted out now.  

Needed a way to save expenses and meat new people in the hopes of seeing life from their point of view. WWOOF was a credible source from what I heard and offered the perfect mix of connections and odd jobs I was searching for.

Two thirds hectare, semi rural property in the forested hills east of Perth Western Australia. In the last 200 years our block &;surrounding areas have been cleared of native Jarrah & Marri eucalyptus forrest to be replaced by orchards & chook farms which have long since disappeared, leaving a patchwork of degraded farmland & fire prone, fast growing Marri tree forests, invaded with introduced Eastern states & overseas grasses, plants, shrubs & trees which have overcome native flora . In the last 30 years we have cleared the property of high fire risk invasive species, ( Flinders range wattles, Blackberries, Watsonias ,Stinkworts, Mullein, etc.) We have suppressed weeds with multiple layers of cardboard , improved soil quality & moisture retention with constant mulching. We have created low water use floral gardens with native plants & succulents. We have a vegetable & fruit tree garden for home use. All this has been done on a near zero budget as our local shire gives us free mulch & 70 native seedlings each year. All our succulents have been free cuttings. Our property is sloped, so we have extensive rock wall terracing for practical & aesthetic appearance. Our house is modest 80 year old 2 x 1 weatherboard cottage with a fully self contained granny flat for visitors. Attached to the flat is a studio & workshop. The block is unfenced allowing the kangaroos to come & regularly mow our modest lawn in Summer.

Black Eagle Farm is a small farming enterprise based on a mix of regenerative, conservation and organic farming principles. It is on beautifull Dja Dja Wurrung country, whose lands were never ceded, located on the northern foothills of the Great Dividing Range in the rolling hills and landscapes of Sutton Grange and Sedgwick with the backdrop of Mt Alexander which is the headwaters of the Axe Creek. The house and guest cottage overlook rolling paddocks and hills with the Axe Creek meandering through the valley.

We are a couple living off grid on a hill in Royalla, just outside of Canberra. Our property is 300 acres of forested land. We are currently building a sustainable home using stone and hempcrete. We have a garden where we practice Masanobu Fukuoka's natural farming for vegetable growing combined with syntropic agroforestry. We are at the beginning of our journey and the soil is very depleted but we are already seeing good results in these methods. We have sheep, goats and chickens for our own production of meat, eggs and dairy products. There are a lot of farming infrastructure projects on our to do list and we love to make improvements to how we do things all the time. We get temperatures between -6 in the winter to 40+ in the summer. We have lots of opportunities to see local animals of all types.

It's more trust in a organize. And the aim of WWOOF is quite matching mine.

Preferred name is Bhodi. Moving back to the Northern Rivers in early 2026. I see WWOOFing as a stepping stone to a more permanent place in the area. I also would like to have a break from my current career and spend more time outdoors. Hoping to have stalls at markets on the weekends with my art prints etc. when I come back to the Northern Rivers. Notice more and more how happy I am outdoors gardening, doing Landcare or enjoying the great outdoors.

After working in Australia for over a month, I realized this wasn't the way I wanted to experience Australia. My original purpose was to see the world and improve my English. My main goal wasn't to earn money, until a fellow traveler told me about volunteering. So I decided to apply and see, even though I don't have much time left. I hope to truly experience the Australian way of life before leaving. Thank you.
